So far I've made (all vegan): split pea soup vegan lasagna vegan chili large lima beans lentil stew Today I'm making baked beans, and I have some ideas about making vegan meatloaf,…

Button Up Blouses for Busty Gals?
I need to go shopping soon to buy some professional looking clothes for when I start interviewing for internships. All I really have is hairdresser clothes. Since I'm busty, I always have a hard time with button up shirts, and always need to get them tailored. It's exhausting scouring through department stores. I'd like to…

NSV with my dog!
Before, my hips were slightly too wide to sit on my arm chair with my little dog sitting next to me. Now, he can squeeze in, and we both fit!

How small can I get?
So, I've done this fitness thing before, got down to a size 32 waist, and then I guess I plateaued. I stayed there for a couple years, and then even stayed there for quite a while after I stopped exercising-slowly putting weight back on. Of course, I want this time to be different. I'm curious about what will happen after…

Ab Hyperextensions Platform Thingy
So, you know the thing at the gym that we all use for obliques and lower back exercises? I only know 2 exercises for it. I'm wondering if anyone has any good links to some exercises for the hyperextension thing for me to try out.

Scales are EVIL
Ok so I know muscle is denser than fat, and I know weight is not the best gauge if you are doing strength training. I've lost an inch in my waist since last week, but I gained about 3 pounds. Logically, I know it's ok-that it's the inches lost that count. Psychology, it's messing with my head. My question is-how long…

Rewarding Yourself For Goals Met
I was wondering if I should give myself a reward of some sort when I reach my goal weight. I do a lot of things already that people might consider extravagant (like get pedicures, massages though it's been a while since I've had a massage). I think maybe an expensive pair of shoes? That would be a splurge for me. I don't…

Pee? Kind of a TMI post.
So, one thing I've noticed in the past couple of weeks since getting back on track with eating healthy and exercising is I pee more! Now, I've always been a big water drinker, so there's nothing new there. I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this issue.

The Ol' College Try: NEW Challenge for College Students
So, I want to create a challenge for us college students. It will be a four month challenge Sep-Dec, with maybe some mini challenges thrown in for extra motivation. It's a long commitment, but that's about how long semesters go. The challenge will be: Track food every day. Make sure to check in every day. Get some sort of…

College Starting Soon. Let's Be Proactive About How to Stay
I'm about to start my first time as being a full-time college student (it was part-time school and work for 4 years). I have always had a hard time fitting in exercise into my crazy study schedule, but I'm planning for it to be different this time. I have already registered for classes, made a study schedule, and I've…

Favorite Exercise
I'm sure there is probably already a topic like this, but since I'm new, and since maybe people's favorites have changed, I'm gonna start it. What's your favorite exercise? For me, it's cable oblique exercises.

New Favorite Snack
My new favorite snack is roasted seasoned sea laver, but I can't stand the wastefulness of the packaging. I think I'm going to try to make it myself with the big sheets of nori I buy.

I need a sweet bread recipe that uses fruit butter
So I am into canning, and I recently made some homemade peach butter. I want to make a sweet bread of some sort, but of course it needs to be on the lowfat side. Also, I don't eat eggs, so it can't have eggs in it. Does anyone have a recipe like this?

hello
Ok, so I signed up on Tuesday, and have been diligently logging my exercise and calories. Here's my deal: I'm a strict vegetarian, and I'm very knowledgeable about how to eat healthy. My problem is I'm the all or nothing type personality. I'm either totally gung ho into eating healthy or exercising, or I'm totally lazy…
